A loaf of bread with a stamped imprint found in Herculaneum and dated back to 1st Century AD, bears the name of its baker. Unearthed in 1930, this sourdough loaf was baked on the morning of August 24th, 79 AD. Turned to carbon and preserved by the oven it was baked in, the loaf endured the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, remaining intact through the ages.
